§ 5-6. Recreational Facilities Benefit

All employees shall be permitted to use the City's recreational facilities and equipment, including the swimming pool that are located at its Recreational Center at no cost to the Employee. The gym at the Senior Center may also be used at no cost to the employee. Family members and guests will be required to pay the normal charges. Employees will be given a twenty percent (20%) discount on any recreational activity or other programs offered or sponsored by the City's Community Services Department. The discount applies only to the participation of the employee, the employee's spouse or the employee's minor dependent(s). Participation at the discounted rate will only be available in the event the program has available space. Employees shall be given the one day "junior golf green fee rate" at the City's golf course, The Desert Lakes Golf Course. Employees will receive a twenty-five percent (25%) discount off the regular price of an annual golf membership at the Golf Course. The Golf Course restaurant offers a fifteen percent (15%) discount off an entree for City employees, limited to Monday-Friday during lunch. Family members and guests will be required to pay the normal charges. Rental charges for golf carts and other charges or fees will be at the normal rate. Employees will be charged the non-profit rate for rental of the Civic Center Facility. Employees will also receive free entry to the Alameda Park Zoo.

City Retirees will continue to be eligible for these services after they retire with the exception of the one day golf at the junior golf green fee rate and the entree discount at the Golf Course restaurant. City Retirees will be provided with an ID card from the Human Resources Department to receive these discounts. For the purpose of this policy a City Retiree is defined as an employee retiring in good standing under City employment and under the New Mexico PERA Retirement System.

These discounts are subject to change without prior notice. Contact Human Resources for the most current list of discounts available.
